UTILITY
LOCATION SERVICES
The
majority of environmental investigations occur either at active or
inactive commercial and industrial sites where numerous underground
utilities may be present.
During
subsurface drilling at these types of sites for soil sampling and / or
monitoring well installation, there is always a risk that subsurface
utilities will be damaged. When utilities are damaged, there could
possibly be loss of services to the site building, equipment damage, or
injury including loss of life to the equipment operator and by-standers.
Mountain Research's Utilivac VE75® air knife is highly
portable and operates in combination with an air compressor capable of
producing at least 185 cubic feet a minute (cfm) to form a vacuum
(22" Hg). Other contractors provide "wet" or a "wet
and dry" combination vacuum extraction for the utility locating.
Mountain Research provides only "dry" air knife utility
locating services throughout the northeast region. The advantages of
utilizing "dry" vacuum extraction are:
-
Using
only compressed air and vacuum to safely expose utilities
-
Dry
soil can be put back in the excavation
-
Can
be operated in cold climates
-
No
containment is necessary during air knifing operations
In
addition to performing utility locating services, the air knife can also
be utilized for the following services:
-
Carbon
changes on remediation systems
-
Monitoring
well development
-
Vacuuming
liquids and slurries from small excavations and drums
